English Learners In Action

English Language Learners

The Bonita Unified School District is committed to ensuring that your child has access to every resource possible to be successful. There are over 580 students in the Bonita Unified School District, representing over 23 languages, who are English Learners. We are committed to ensuring every child whose first language is not English, or who is considered an English Learner, has access to extra support. We have a committed group of parents whose students are working toward English proficiency and academic success. Parents can contact Nancy Sifter (sifter@bonita.k12.ca.us; 909-971-8330) to learn more about programs available to support English Learners.

Upcoming Events and Programs

The Bonita Unified School District is offering a free, 8-week English as a Second Language workshop for parents in our district. This workshop is designed to help parents who want to improve their own daily conversational English skills and learn how to support their students at home. English Language Development instruction will include interactive lessons to teach reading, writing, listening and speaking. Participants will also use the Rosetta Stone program to increase vocabulary, improve pronunciation, understand grammatical structure, and sharpen listening skills. Please complete the registration form and return to your school site secretary. Enrollment is limited to 30 participants. Registration will be accepted on a first-come, first-served basis.
